This study introduces the curriculum of a discussion-based learning class for dental hygiene ethics education and evaluates the educational effect of discussion-based learning as applied to a dental hygiene ethics class. ⋯ Teaching methods applied in DBL classes, not traditional lecture-style classes, consistent with changing educational paradigms, are very effective and should change gradually. These results will be particularly helpful to faculty members who are inexperienced in DBL courses and performance but interested in them.
